Energy Update: January 2025

January is a "1" Universal Month [1 (January) + 9 (2025) = 10 = 1+0 =1] in a "9" Universal Year. 1 is the number of beginnings and starting over - this makes this January a 1/1 month as all Januarys bring 1 energy to the table, further amplified by our 9-themed year. It is worth remembering that 9 is the number of endings, so from a wide enough lens, we can say that this January is the beginning of the end. Or better said AN end.

The Set Up

January begins with the Sun in Capricorn, Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus and Pluto in Aquarius, retrograde Mars in Leo, retrograde Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn and Neptune in Pisces, and retrograde Uranus in Taurus. By the month's end, the Sun will have moved into Aquarius, Mercury will have moved through Capricorn into Aquarius, Venus will have entered Pisces, and Mars will have moved backward into Cancer. Additionally, we will see the switchover of our lunar nodes from the Aries-Libra axis to the Pisces-Virgo axis, and Uranus will have stationed direct.

The Nitty Gritty

All eyes are on our lunar nodes, moving away from the Aries-Libra axis towards Pisces-Virgo at the end of this month. The tides are shifting, and we need to shift with them.

The Lunar Nodes

In a year full of endings, this is a pretty big one. All month long, our North and South nodes will be sitting at 00° of Aries and Libra, respectively. This may seem counterintuitive because 00° is the first degree of a given sign, and as I mentioned above, the lunar nodes are about to switch signs. This is because the nodes - overall - move retrograde to the movement of the planets throughout our skies.

For a quick refresher: the lunar nodes are not physical bodies in our sky but mathematical points representing the exact degree with which the Sun, Moon, and Earth can align to create a solar or lunar eclipse. So, from a wide lens, this indicates that our eclipse seasons are about to shift from Aries and Libra to Pisces and Virgo.

But we aren't there quite yet.

The lunar nodes move backward through the horoscope every 1.5 years, representing a compass point of focus away from the South Node and towards the North Node. Society generally becomes more focused on the themes of the signs the lunar nodes inhabit. This past year and a half have focused on the dichotomy between the self (Aries) and relationships (Libra). It has been a battle of "I" versus "We". It's wise to remember that Aries and Libra, though quite different, are an astrological pair - one can never truly be understood without the other. There can be no sense of togetherness without understanding separateness, and vice versa.

This cycle has caused a lot of disruptions and reworkings, specifically in the realm of relationships because the axis of Aries-Libra IS the axis of relationships. With the North Node in Aries, the focus was on individualization, and this process corrupted and broke down relationships that couldn't exist within an individualized framework.

When things end, there needs to be a mourning period or, at the least, a period of readjustment. 00° Aries will be a heavy focus point throughout 2025 as Mercury, Venus, Saturn, and Neptune move into and back out of Aries later this year.

When we talk "1" as new beginnings - many think of January 1st and our calendar new year. But in astrology, the year begins at 00° Aries with the equinox and our first breath of spring. 00° Aries is highly potentiated - it holds the potential of an entire new year within its grasp. This enhances our natural "1" energy of the month of January, which has already been further enhanced by this January being a 1/1 year.

As our Sun and personal planets change signs this month, each will move into aspect with our lunar nodes at 00° degrees, creating strong short-lived windows of opportunity and further enhancing the New energy inherent all month long.

We can view each of these days as one last chance to come to terms with the waning energy of this cycle of the lunar nodes but also as the cosmically right time to start over. It's worth noting here that the type of aspect makes some difference, as does whether the planet is in a stronger aspect to the North Node (progress) or South Node (endings). Here, the most potent aspects are conjunctions, squares, or trines, with sextiles being second to that and semi-sextiles or inconjunction being relatively inconsequential.

As our planets enter Aquarius, for example, they find themselves trine to the South Node - this is more indicative of endings and needing to make adjustments to change. Whereas when Mercury enters Capricorn, it forms an intense square, which may propel us into the future with stronger more intent "1" energy. I will speak more about our planetary aspects to the lunar nodes in each planet's section, where I feel it is warranted.

It's worth remembering here that beginnings and endings are two sides of the same coin - you (often) cannot have one without the other. Only our ultimate beginnings (birth) and our ultimate endings (death) are concrete and finitely separated from each other.

It's also worth mentioning here the peculiarity of astrology and how it relates to the tarot. The major arcana and the astrological wheel begin with the number 0 rather than the number 1. In this way, we can say that all month, we are sitting in Fool energy - all of the potential of the world, but on the edge of a cliff. Also, like the ongoing retrograde Mars energy, when the lunar nodes switch, we will go backward into Pisces, not forward in the future.

Venus will be the first of our planets to cross the line from Pisces into Aries in forward motion this year, but she will also retrograde and move back across it, following in the lunar nodes' footsteps. So will Mercury, Saturn, AND Neptune over the coming months.

You might begin to see what I mean about beginnings and endings here. You might begin to understand why the lunar nodes are more important than many astrologers seem to comprehend.

The lunar nodal movement is certainly a changing of the guard, but it isn't always felt by everyone. I suspect this one will be, though, since those degrees of 00° Aries and 29° Pisces play so much into the energy of our year ahead. It is worth watching - especially if you have luminaries or personal planets within 5 of 00 for cardinal signs or 25-29 degrees for mutable signs.

The nodes switch on 1/28 at the end of the month, but there will be a building tension in advance of this actualizing. I will write more about our new Pisces-Virgo era as we get there, as that is mostly February's (and the future) situation.

Our Lights: The Sun and the Moon

As our Sun moves through Capricorn, it meets up for a brief sextile with Saturn in Pisces on 1/04. This is a check on our New Year's goals - have we set ourselves up with a solid framework to achieve in the coming year (Saturn), or are we grasping at a pipe dream (Pisces)? Capricorn especially wants to dot every I and cross every T; this is why it is auspicious to begin our calendar year in the sign of the goat. In what might be a rocky year, Capricorn can give us the confidence to keep our footing, but we do need to set ourselves up for success.

Our full moon for the month is on 1/13 at 24° Cancer, which looks like a less-than-auspicious day. Uranus forms a trine to our Capricorn Sun and sextile to our Cancerian moon, which adds a layer of volatility to anything that might come up during this lunation. Additionally, Venus in Pisces will square off with retrograde Jupiter in Gemini. This screams "unlucky in love," but it's wise to remember that Venus rules all kinds of getting along, not just the romantic vibes. Venus in Pisces has the bad habit of wearing rose-colored glasses and only seeing what she wants to see, and retrograde Jupiter in Gemini is an outright liar. All that glitters is not gold around this full moon, and certain inconsistencies or falsehoods may come to light or be revealed during this time. Tempers will also be high, stoked by retrograde Uranus in Taurus, who is breaking down old ground and not taking any prisoners.

Expect some waterworks, as Cancerian moons always seem to bring out the big emotions in all of us.

Our Cancer Full Moon is a 5/6 Full Moon.

10 (Capricorn Sun) + 4 (Cancer Moon) = 14 = 1+4 =5. 5 (Capricorn Full Moon) + 1 (January 2025) = 6.

The numerology echoes the astrological energy of the lunation - there's a lot of conflict inherent in the Number 5, but its conflict meant to show the fallacy of the complacency sometimes found within structures. We must work hard to harness the "6" energy of working together to find solutions. Still, the energy IS available if everyone involved is willing to put aside their reactionary brains and seek compromise for the higher good - a function of 6 energy.

It's unlikely, though. Our Capricorn moon is already closely opposed to retrograde Mars in Cancer at its height of reactivity. Mars is in its fall in the cardinal water sign of the crab, which often seems to move sideways rather than forward toward its goals. This creates a lot of angst and discomfort, further enhanced by Mars's current backward motion. Nobody is at their best right now, and patience has never been Cancer's forte. As I've said before, when referencing this Mars in the Cancer cycle, crabby hands are grabby hands, and grabby hands never let go. To compromise during January, we will have to meet the other person halfway, and retrograde Mars in Cancer makes it exceptionally difficult for us to do so.

The Sun will oppose retrograde Mars exactly on 1/15; this is definitely a day to lie low and do and say less. Set your expectations at the absolute bottom of what you can imagine, and give yourself space to go even lower.

When the Sun enters Aquarius on 1/19, it forms an immediate conjunction with Pluto and trine to our South Node in Libra. This accentuates the letting go part of our 1-themed month, as Pluto is the dwarf planet of erosion and disintegration, and the South Node shows what we are moving away from during this time. This aligns well with the waning moon cycle and is a great time to do any cleansing, banishing, or removal work. This energy will stretch through to 1/21 when the Sun meets up with Pluto in exactitude.

Our new moon for the month is on 1/29 at 09° Aquarius, which mirrors the full moon early with retrograde Jupiter in a tight trine to our Sun and Moon. This will be a low day, maybe one of the lowest of the entire year, as a lot going on around it will heighten this dark moon energy. The day before, Venus entered her pre-retrograde shadow in Pisces, and, more importantly, the lunar nodes switched signs. We may not know up from down, as if this were a Piscean moon or we are stuck deep in 12th house energy. If you can't even on this day, know that you are right on time.

It isn't a day for doing. It might not even be a day for feeling, given the airy spaciness of Aquarius.

Our Aquarius New Moon is a 4/5 New Moon.

11 (Aquarius Moon) + 11 (Aquarius Sun) = 22 = 2+2 = 4. 4 (Aquarius New Moon) + 1 (January 2025) = 5.

When one considers that Aquarius new moons are actually 22/4 moons, meaning that they carry the double 2 energy of choice and movement and the 4 energy of stability, this could be a very auspicious day. But, again, we see the 5 energy coming along to disrupt or break up that solidarity.

There may be too many unknowns to make any concrete plans. Sometimes, that is just the way that things are.

Mercury

Since Mercury was retrograde through the end of November and early December, it is lagging behind the Sun and playing catch-up all month long. It exits its post-retrograde shadow on 1/04 at 22° Sagittarius before moving on into Capricorn on 1/08. The Sun plus Mercury in Capricorn will add a serious tone to the two weeks that follow - people will likely be thinking carefully before they speak, which is ultimately positive in a month that is quite Saturnian.

In Capricorn, Mercury immediately squares off with the lunar nodes at 00° Aries and Libra, respectively. We are at a turning point, not quite stepping into the future (the North Node) and not quite ready to give up the past (South Node). There may be some unfinished business that needs attending around 1/8-1/9, and it's likely something best worked through verbally. Write it out or talk it out. Make a pros/cons list. Be practical here: Mercury is in Capricorn's realm now and, therefore, ruled by the planet of getting it right, Saturn. Squares (and this is technically a t-square with Mercury square at once to both the North Node and the South due to their inherent opposition) can be a harsh aspect, but as mentioned in the lunar nodes section above, this provides powerful energy to right your path and tap into the 1/1 energy that January so readily provides. Use this energy to intellectualize your plans for the year ahead of you and make concrete plans to make it happen.

Capricorn isn't the strongest placement for Mercury, but it can be used so long as you are willing to do the work to make it happen. (That's pretty much the theme of the month, after all)

Interestingly, we don't see another Mercury aspect after this until Mercury meets up in sextile to a conjunction between Venus and Saturn on 1/18. Saturn is making moves later this year (changing signs over the border from sign #12, Pisces, to sign #1, Aries), and we are now deep in the planning stages. Venus in Pisces wants to dream big, but Saturn holds things soundly grounded deep into reality. Saturn says there is no use in having goals if you aren't taking active steps to achieve them. With Mercury in tow, Saturn wants us to think things through to their logical conclusions. That is the skill that Capricorn has which Pisces often so desperately needs, use it.

By 10/23, Mercury is in a tough opposition with retrograde Mars sitting in its fall in watery Cancer. This is a test of our resolve to follow through on our ideas. And we are most likely failing, but that said - it's not our fault. With retrograde Mars in its exile in cardinal Cancer, very few people are living up to their obligations at the moment. It may feel like a punch in the gut and old thoughts (Mercury) around being not good enough, not brave enough, not smart enough, not Enough Enough may arise to the surface. Mercury in Capricorn can be a bit of a downer (Saturn has a suppressive influence on everything it touches), and retrograde Mars is far from giving us the pep needed to overcome that winter slump.

It's certainly right on time, but it won't feel fun. Stay aware if you're prone to the bad kind of depression and take steps early to care for yourself through this transit.

Some big changes are happening, and Mercury is at the forefront, as it so often is. (I suspect this is because we have to think our way through things before we can do much else, but I digress a bit there) Mercury enters Aquarius on 1/27 and immediately conjuncts Pluto (death/erosions/decomposition) while also meeting up in a sextile to the North Node and trine to the South the very day before the lunar nodes move backward into Pisces and Virgo, respectively.

The flex will be using your mind and staying aware during this time, but things will feel tenuous and incredibly murky. Put on your seeing glasses or your very best pathfinding charm if you've got 'em. The nodes shift, we experience a dense and low Aquarius full moon, and the Uranus stations direct - all three days in a row. All somehow involving Mercury (it is sextile/trine the nodes, widely conjunct the new moon, and the lower octave of all Uranian energy).

If you know how to look for one, an Ah-Ha moment might be hidden in all this nonsense.

Venus

Venus is out ahead of the pack and moving quickly through the mutable, watery sign of Pisces. Venus is exalted in Pisces, which means it is at its best - especially when pushing forward the radical idea that EVERYBODY deserves more love. Even so, all planetary placements have mature and immature sides. The above is Venus in Pisces showing up in its mature form, but the immature form of Venus in Pisces can be erratic and downright avoidant.

Pisces rules the unconscious and our ideals. Immature Piscean energy can be so obsessed with their sense of idealism that they lose sight of reality entirely. An immature Venus in Pisces type might prefer to be lied to rather than know the truth; they can live their entire life with their head in the sand focused on their fantasy while their Others are running around doing untoward things that they refuse to look at or admit to. Through this Venus in Pisces transit, we should all hope for the first mature type of Venus in Pisces energy - that is empathetic to all humans (hopefully with firm boundaries) and try to avoid the immature Piscean state of delusion and avoidance.

It may not be easy this month as Venus always needs to be read in relation to their counterpart, Mars. There are two sides to the same coin, as both deal with different ways we get along and work towards achieving our desires. We often view Venus as passive, drawing in what we want, and Mars as active, seeking out desires, but it is not that cut and dry. When Venus is in the more active signs (Air, Fire, and Cardinal), it plays a more traditional aggressor role, and Mars tends to be more passive in Earth, Water, and Mutable signs. Although Venus in Pisces can be infinitely loving, it is not the strongest placement from an outward energy perspective. And likewise, Mars retrograde in the sign of its exile, Cancer, is also not at its best.

This will be an easier month than when Venus was in Aquarius, directly opposed to retrograde Mars in Leo, but easier is a matter of degrees here. Mars is doubly exiled, and Venus isn't stepping up to take the reigns to get things done in her mutable, watery form.

Once you accept that, the month will probably run much smoother for you.

We don't see a lot of action from Venus this month aspect-wise, and what we do see shows the depths of the situation. As Venus moves through Pisces, it will re-activate our waning Jupiter-Saturn mutable square from December through a square to Jupiter on 1/14 and a conjunction to Saturn on 1/18. We are being brought to task by our relationship choices all month long as part of the last dregs of this lunar nodal cycle on the Aries-Libra axis, where we have let our relationships overwhelm us (Jupiter) and also where we have held on too tight and not given them room to breathe (Saturn). We all walk a tightrope between wanting and needing connection (Libra, the placement of our South Node) and needing space (Aries, the placement of our North Node). The truth is that we need both at the correct levels - right for us AND our others.

Therein, at times, lies the crux of the issue. In its immature form, Venus in Pisces wants to wear rose-colored glasses and focus wholly on the good in relationships. Venus in Pisces is the type to keep a relationship going with a toxic person because of the potential they saw in their other once upon a time. But in the real world (ruled by Saturn), potential is not enough.

I don't think this will be a hard pass for everyone, but it will be for those hiding things from themselves or trying to keep relationships long past their expiration date alive. I don't just mean bit R romantic relationships here, either.

The big flex around 1/14-1/18 will be seeing your Others for who they really are, warts and all. In realizing they have the intrinsic right to have wants and needs that have nothing to do with you. They are a whole person in and of themselves without you involved. This is going to strike a hard note for those dealing with issues around codependency for sure. The toxic "Us" will certainly rear its ugly head as people grapple with enmeshment within family systems and relationships. This is a bit of a glimpse into our future here as our North Node enters Pisces on 1/28, putting all Piscean ideals, good and bad, in the spotlight for the next year and a half.

Pisces, in its purest form, is a servant of love - it hints at the idea that on a long enough timeline (Pisces is our last sign in the horoscope lineup), humans will realize that universal love is the answer—the ideal. Piscean love is never meant to be personal as Piscean is - by its position as the last sign - the least personal of all.

This isn't going to be an easy road or an easy transition. As Venus moves through Pisces, it will enter its pre-retrograde shadow on 1/28 at 24° Pisces. Notably, this is the day the North Node moves into Pisces, forming a loose (05°) conjunction with Venus. Venus will move into Aries next month and then retrograde BACK into Pisces, following the path the lunar nodes have so recently trod.

As mentioned above, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune will also retrograde and move backward from Aries into Pisces later this year. If Pisces is the most universal sign, Aries is the most personal. That they are neighbors, that one always becomes the other either by forward or backward motion shows a lot about the nature of humanity. About the many stages of being who we are as a species.

This is the meat of the work we all need to do this year, and we can see by the transits that we will get many chances to get it right, so it's okay if you don't the first time around.

Stay aware in and around 1/28, as it may be a sneak peek into what will arise for you again and again in the year ahead.

Mars

As Mars' retrograde cycle deepens, the pace of life may seem to continue to slow or halt altogether. If you feel like you can't get ahead this month, know that you are right on time. Retrograde Mars in Leo trines the North Node in Aries on 1/02, which will hit on those themes of Individuality/Togetherness that we have one last chance to rectify this month. Mars in Leo's prominent immature trait is that of inherent narcissism - Leo can be every bit as "Me First" as sign #1, Aries, albeit for differing reasons. Aries has an instinctive understanding that somebody has to go first, and they are willing to take the hit for the team (and it often is detrimental to go first, whatever people might think); Leo goes first because they usually believe they are most deserving.

Therefore, when Leo stumbles into the consequence of going first, they are often shocked by the result (rather than Aries, who is expecting this and has agreed to it). In this way, it is worth considering the consequences of your actions early in the month - are you, like immature Leo, barreling ahead without thinking about what will happen next, or like mature Aries, are you prepared to face what lies ahead, even if it less than ideal. It's worth remembering that January is an unusually Saturnian month, and Saturn will play a large part in the year ahead, so there will most certainly BE consequences.

Consequences don't have to be bad. They can be a reward for hard work. Sometimes, the difference between the two is all in your state of mind.

The energy of our inability to act will change drastically on 1/06 as retrograde Mars moves backward into Cancer, where it will remain for the rest of its retrograde cycle. It's worth noting that Cancer is the sign of Mars's exile - as it is the opposite sign of its exaltation, Capricorn. This means a couple of things concerning this month. For starters, the natural energy of Cancer (sideways, grabby hands, crab motion) does not suit Mars's energy well. Additionally, as our Sun and Mercury move through Capricorn - each will have to oppose Mars in their time.

If you think about the nature of the crab, their pinchers are likely the first thing to come to mind. Crabs are known to grab onto something and never let go. This is the immature energy of Mars in Cancer - otherwise known as "this is mine." Mature Cancerean energy is about sharing resources that you might see in a community or family unit. Still, immature Cancer energy is obsessed with keeping whatever it has at any cost! Because Cancer is a water sign and ruled by the capricious moon, this includes the dreaded emotional manipulation.

"Look what I have done for you." "I am the best you will ever find." "You owe me."

Remember we are in the last dregs of this Aries-Libra lunar node cycle, and Mars has just crossed backward from Leo into Cancer (fire to water), which is the point trine to Aries into Pisces that our nodes, Venus, Mercury, Saturn, and Neptune are all about to pass over as well. Everything is interrelated. Our story has no outliers this month, showing us that we must pay close attention.

This month, the big flex from a Mars perspective will be understanding that you have the right to any emotions you feel (Mars in Cancer has all of the feelings), but you don't have the right to use your emotions against your Others. On the other hand, you have the right to hold boundaries with others if they try to use their emotions against you.

"No" is a complete sentence, even if that person is your parent, sibling, friend, or lover.

You do not need to be a casualty in somebody else's war with themselves.

This has been an aggressively long Mars in Cancer transit that began months ago, and it's not much fun for anyone—emphasis on the aggressive.

Mars doesn't make a lot of aspects this month, which is a small favor, but those it does make will be challenging days for everyone involved. As retrograde Mars opposes the Sun, we will face the battling egos between ourselves and our Others; when Mars opposes Mercury, people will be looking for an argument. You can walk away and not engage (at least most of the time).

Relationship issues will be close to the surface all month long, as typical for a Mars retrograde cycle. Pick your battles. Bring a literal or figurative white flag, and try not to quarrel about the little things. Let people be emotional without taking on their emotions as your own. That won't be as easy as it sounds, but it is a practice worth cultivating all month. Again, this circles back to that pesky codependency issue I mentioned in the Venus section - like Pisces, Cancer can hold on too hard for too long.

This reads like the cliche: "Family must stick together because they are family."

And (spoken like a true Aries moon native here): fuck that shit.

You don't have to stay in contact or close communication with anyone for any reason other than that you are their direct care-er. If they aren't a minor, tell them to STFU if you need to this month. Iron-clad boundaries are a must when Mars is muddied in the waters of Cancer. Protect your personal space AND your emotions.

You don't need to engage.

Mars doesn't station direct until the end of February, but we are now 2/3 of the way through this retrograde cycle and that's...something. Maybe not enough, but we've got what we've got.

Uranus

Uranus stations direct on 1/30 at 23° Taurus. This probably won't be particularly notable in comparison to the mess forming around the boundary between Pisces and Aries. Still, it is worth noting because Uranus will move out of Taurus and into Gemini later this year. It is a step forward, but one that may fall under the radar for quite some time.

Looking Forward

February will be a month of major personal planetary movement as Mars (finally) stations direct and Venus retrogrades at the end of the month. Stay tuned!

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!

Here’s a mathematical oddity for 2025.

The sum of the cubes of the first 9 numbers

And

The sum of the first 9 numbers, squared

both equal 2025!

This is the only time this will ever happen! 😮

Post "FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO 2024" Points Theory

2024 definitely has proven to be what F1 could be, and anyone who left during 2023 Max dominance is missing out. The on track battles we have been able to witness all year at the front of the field have been amazing. With that, Mexico showed us just like with Austin the lengths Max will go to ensure that his publicity rival will not get in his way; though I'll be curious what that looks like now as only Carlos is safe from that due to mathematically being eliminated from getting 1st by the end. It was another strong point grab for Haas, helping them shot closer to Aston and be a hard lock for 6th, performing the way it was assumed VCARB would, with them taking as much of the RB19 as legal. Aston, Alpine, Sauber, Williams, VCARB, are all kinds of middling still and as we ramp down in the year I am sure they are all in the teams anyway focused more on 2025. Franco and Liam have been bright spots for their respective teams, slotting in on short notice and doing what the drivers they are replacing couldn't.

Most drivers just continued to solidify their point totals, but Kevin made a big jump and could see himself being close to Nico before the year is over. Ferrari officially knocked RB to 3rd.

We are deep enough into the year that points to 20th aligns just like the others just with bigger numbers for the most part. But throughout 11th-23rd it does show a better cumlative picture of the driving done throughout the year and where the constructors are realistically.

So, they'll reach their peak when they hit 10M/11M subscribers. From a mathematical point of view, they'll likely reach 10 million subscribers by December 13, 2025, and 11 million subscribers by May 13, 2026, given that they have been uploading since October 2, 2020, and currently have 7.05M subscribers. It could be quicker or slower since my calculations are only from a mathematical perspective.

Project 2025 presents a "Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist," The New Republic said. 

This goes out to all you holier-than-thou fuckers who are debating whether you can be bothered to vote in November because you don't like the candidate.

If you don't - this is what we are ALL risking.

I say this as someone who has co-written/edited or contributed chapters to five books on the last four American Presidential elections - the single largest determinant of a Democratic victory is turnout. If turnout gets above 65% it is mathematically almost impossible for Republicans to win (this has partly to do with voter suppression - but most of it is to do with voter motivation, which is very high for older and conservative voters and much lower for younger and more liberal voters).

Republicans get out the vote; Republicans vote for their candidate, no matter how much they might wish it was someone else.

Democrats - especially the left wing of the party, which trends younger and further left - don't. They whine about not having the perfect candidate, and then sit at home . In the current debate the narrative is that somehow that a Biden win would be worse for Palestine than a Trump win (all the "well how could it be worse" whining) Really? You have to be spectacularly ignorant to think that a Trump win would be better for Palestine than a Biden win. Trump will do everything in his power to keep Bibi in power and raze both Gaza and the West Bank to the sand.

And then they sit back and refuse to vote as a "protest". I'm not going to be nice about this - anyone who thinks that "not voting" is an effective protest against the system, is a FUCKING moron.

If it leads to a Trump win, then life as you know it is over, if you are LGBTQA, if you have a uterus, if you aren't Xian, which increasing numbers of young people aren't (well done, BTW), if you aren't white, or white-passing - you will be FUCKED.

Expect regular rants on this subject on both my main blogs from now until November - if you don't like it, you know where the unfollow button is.

Published: Jan 3, 2025

The year 2025 has a near-magical quality to it. Mathematicians will be eager to tell you that 2025 is the square of 45, and that this is the first square year since 1936 (which is 44²), and we won’t see another one in our lifetimes because the next will be in 2116 (46²). Moreover, apparently 2025 is the total sum of all the cubes of the numbers 1 to 9. For the nerds out there: 1³ + 2³ +3³ +4³ +5³ +6³ +7³ +8³ +9³ = 2025.

As one who was forced to drop my AS-level in Mathematics out of sheer incompetency, I have little interest in such trivia. For me, 2025 has another meaning. And at the risk of sounding hopelessly sanguine, I am going to make some predictions for what we might just achieve if we work hard enough and pray to our various gods.

A free speech fightback

In the wake of the summer riots, we saw draconian jail sentences meted out to citizens for posting offensive memes. The Labour government scotched the Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Act the day before parliament went into recess. Secretary of State Yvette Cooper has pledged to make the recording of ‘non-crime hate incidents’ more common. There are suggestions that the government will introduce measures against ‘Islamophobia’, a nonsense term designed to curb criticism of religion. There needs to be a concerted effort to restate the primacy of free speech. Our civilisation depends on it.

An end to two-tier policing

In spite of all the denials from the government and the law enforcement agencies, it is perfectly apparent that the police are operating with extreme ideological bias. Whether this involves turning a blind eye to criminality within certain communities, or persecuting gender-critical feminists for acknowledging that sex is real, the failures have become increasingly apparent. Rather than deny that the College of Policing – the body responsible for training police in England and Wales – is ideologically captured, there needs to be a serious effort to address the problem.

Kicking ideology out of the arts

So many of our creative industries are captured: publishing, comedy, theatre, television, film, music… just about everything. Most of us are sick of being preached at when we simply want to be entertained. And some of the most talented artists are squandering their potential by attempting to feed the insatiable beast of identity politics. I would like once again to be able to book tickets to a play confident in the knowledge that it won’t be an ideological sermon in disguise. One can but dream.

A complete ban on puberty blockers

Much to his credit, Wes Streeting, the current Health Secretary, has resisted pressure from activists within his own party and, in accordance with the recommendations of the Cass Review, implemented a full ban on puberty blockers. However, there will still be trials undertaken on the NHS into the efficacy of these drugs, even though nobody in the government can define ‘gender identity’. If this concept cannot be defined, less alone proven to exist, why should any children – on trials or otherwise – be denied the right to puberty? Ultimately, we need to stop basing public health policy on superstitious or pseudo-religious beliefs.

The reinstatement of sex over gender

To carry on this theme, we cannot possibly continue to exist as a society under the delusion that we are not a species divided into male and female, and that the preservation of the rights of women and gay people are not dependent upon a recognition of this fact. When Baroness Jacqui Smith, the government spokesperson for equalities, was asked to define ‘gender identity’ in the House of Lords, she brushed it off by suggesting that people consult the Equality Act. Those who took her advice would be disappointed to discover that no answer is contained therein. In decades to come, historians will find it bizarre that we wasted so much time in restating the reality of human biology simply to appease a handful of fantasists. As a society, we need to grow up quickly.

An end to political tribalism

Media commentators are in the habit of referring to ‘Labour voters’ or ‘Tory voters’ as though the choices we make in the ballot box are someone inscribed in our DNA. All voters should be open to persuasion; those of us who have made politics inseparable from our sense of self have surrendered our individuality. We should be able to disagree without terminating friendships, and we should be able to understand that those who take a different view are not doing so out of mendacity or malevolence. Surely there is little more narcissistic than assuming that ours is the default position, and everyone else must be mistaken. We are all wrong all the time about something. A little less tribalism and a lot more humility might just save the world.

An end to collectivism

This is perhaps the most infantile and common aspect of contemporary political and social discourse. It is possible to criticise gay people without being homophobic, to criticise women without being misogynistic, to criticise ethnic minority people without being racist, to criticise Jews without being antisemitic, to criticise Muslims without being Islamophobic. Too often we fall into the trap of assuming that our group ‘identity’ is what defines us. First and foremost, we are human individuals. Let’s drop the identity politics for good.

Keeping an eye on the ‘anti-woke’

For those of us who still care about freedom and liberal values, we could all stand to be less complacent when it comes to the threats to liberty coming from unexpected sources. We are all accustomed to those who claim to be on the left demanding censorship, cheering on enhanced ‘hate speech laws’ and indulging in cancel culture, but there are disturbing signs of an ‘anti-woke’ backlash. We have seen a decrease in support for gay marriage, demands that protests be banned, and a growing perception that liberalism has failed. In 2025, let’s remember that authoritarianism can emerge from all sides and - as the saying has it - the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

No doubt this is all wishful thinking, but it’s a start. I have certainly missed out many key aspirations for 2025, so please feel free to correct me in the comments. And, of course, I wish you all a happy new year…

Best of 2024: Favorite Telugu Films

January 2, 2025

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

1. Saripodhaa Sanivaaram

It’s interesting that in a year with some of the most unique films emerging from the Telugu industry, my number one film is a typical commercial action thriller. Maybe it’s the comfort of watching the usual heroics, simple romance, and good vs. evil themes, or maybe it’s to see Nani in a once in a while action role far removed from his chocolate boy, rom-com characters. Either way, Saripodhaa Sanivaaram, is by far the most entertaining Telugu film of the year. The story is about Surya, a man who resolves to fight and unleash his anger only one day of the week, leading to many hilarious encounters until he faces an evil nemesis that threatens those closest to him.

Like every other masala entertainer, it’s a blend of all genres. There is comedy in Surya’s unique fighting schedule. There is a crackling romance rehashing Priyanka Mohan and Nani’s chemistry from their previous venture, Gang Leader. There is suspense in the secrets and long-lost friendship. There is an energetic hero-villain enmity, boosted by S.J. Suryah’s psychopathic performance. And there are well-choreographed action sequences that keep our excitement alive through the end of the film. No other Indian film industry makes commercial action entertainers like the Telugu industry and Saripodhaa Sanivaaram proves it!

2. 35 Chinna Katha Kaadu

At the surface level, 35 Chinna Katha Kaadu, is the simple story of a boy who struggles to understand mathematics and a mother who is hell-bent on proving her child is not a failure. But, on a deeper level, it takes a look at the flaws in the Indian education system, one that values rote memorization over intellectual learning. Arun is an inquisitive child whose curiosity is stifled by traditional education. He is punished and ridiculed for asking questions rather than appreciated and supported. His peers, his teachers, and even his own father, don’t take him seriously. But his mother, Saraswati, a school dropout herself, takes up the mission of teaching him the concepts that baffle him using creative techniques. Their journey to escape an outdated learning culture forms the basis of this film.

The narrative prioritizes dramatic emotions, pulling at our heartstrings with the endearing mother-son bond, and emphasizing the sheer resilience of a mother to prove her son’s worth, while at the same time discovering her own. It’s as much a tale about the inquisitive childhood spirit as it is about the pertinence of respect. 35 Chinna Katha Kaadu is a sweet, wholesome, and uplifting expedition towards success.

3. Hanu-Man

In an industry known for its commercial action flicks, where even a common man can perform feats equivalent to the acts of a hero, making a good superhero film is extremely difficult. What is the need for a character with superpowers, when the typical Telegu action star with his superstrength and appealing style is already equivalent to a superhero? Writer-director Prasanth Varma dashes these myths with Hanu-Man, a film that not only presents a legitimate superhero but also delivers a cheeky commentary on the presence of larger than life protagonists in conventional Telugu cinema.

Inspired by Indian mythology and set in the fictional town of Anjanadri, this film is about a petty thief, Hanumantha, who stumbles upon an object that gives him the powers of Lord Hanuman, which he uses to protect his town from evil forces. Though the story follows the basic arc of a hero origin story with little innovation and blatant predictability, it must be admired for the way Indian traditions blend into the character and plot development supported by brilliant cinematography and visual effects. It is thoroughly unique from foreign “superhero/vigilante” content, emphasizing emotional depth and our rich culture. It is also worth noting that it is a first of its kind in this industry and the humongous success has opened doors for more content of a similar style.

4. Mathu Vadalara 2

In the last two decades, with films like Aithe, Anukokunda Oka Roju, Swamy Ra Ra, Karthikeya, Brochevarevarura, etc., Telugu cinema has seen a new age of indie action escapade content supported by experimental filmmakers. In 2018, one such talented debutante filmmaker, Ritesh Rana, contributed to this genre with the comedy caper Mathu Vadalara, introducing his ability to weave an unconventional, quirky narrative comprised of slick editing, surprising twists, and a plethora of red herrings. With Mathu Vadalara 2, he expands on the universe. In this entertaining sequel, the comical duo, Babu and Yesu, return upgraded from delivery boys to secret agents, but find themselves no more the wiser as they are once again caught in the middle of a conspiracy.

Unlike its predecessor, this film’s story and plot twists are not as exciting. But the fast-paced action, hilarious dialogues, crisp editing, and emotional connection developed with the characters, keep the energy alive. From the absurd scenarios these boys land in, to the constant parallels with a never-ending soap opera, Mathu Vadalara 2 can only be described as wild ridiculous madness.

5. Tillu Square

Twice the comedy, twice the adventure, twice the plot twists, and twice the seduction. Tillu Square, sequel to the wildly entertaining DJ Tillu, is twice the entertainment. A year after Tillu’s affair with Radhika involved him in a twisted crime-murder scenario, he again falls for an extremely attractive woman, Lilly, landing him in the midst of an even bigger scandal with connections to his past. This time, the magnitude is greater. It’s no longer a simple, local case, it’s now a matter of national security. It’s no longer small-time thugs and blackmailers making his life difficult, it is now agents and international criminals thrusting him into hell.

Like the prequel, this film has two main strengths: Tillu’s eccentric personality amped by his punchy one-liners, and the strong, sexy femme fatale that takes him for an unforgettable spin. The first is a product of Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s laidback performance and top-notch dialogue writing. The second is a combination of Anupama Parameswaran stepping miles outside her comfort zone in a never before seen avatar and the comic flair to her actions that makes even a disloyal character like Lilly, enjoyable to watch on screen. While the twists and turns are exciting, the film is not story heavy, and it is these character elements that give this otherwise typical comedy caper a unique flair.

6. Lucky Baskhar

Set in the midst of the 1992 Indian stock market scam, Lucky Baskhar faces the unusual predicament of succeeding the superhit series Scam 1992. After witnessing a detailed explanation on market manipulation by Harshad Mehta in the series, Baskhar’s frauds in the film seem oversimplified and juvenile. Hence, writer-director, Venky Atluri, chooses to not spend too much time on the plot. Instead, he focuses on the aspects of the film that would appeal to the emotions within the audience: character development, performances, and world building.

With immaculate production design, the film recreates 1990s Bombay, the city of dreams, and in that introduces Baskhar, a middle-class man struggling to make ends meet. His aspirations don’t extend beyond providing for his family and gaining minimum respect. But his inability to do so on his little salary as a bank cashier, pushes him into the illegal world of money laundering. This character is a representation of the common man, appealing to all those who struggle for basic comfort. Moments such as Baskhar’s son being forced to give away his toy due to their inability to afford a new gift, or Baskhar’s humiliation on being accosted by debtors, emotionally capture the pressures of middle-class life. And thus, Baskhar’s journey towards success, even by surreptitious means, feels personal.

2025 is such a mathematically satisfying number for a year, the likes of which i will likely not know again in my lifetime. which means this has got to be the one boys it’s gotta be, 2026 is such a lame year in comparison

[beach-bear-enjoyer]

38 minutes until 2025 and i’m really angry right now. i keep seeing videos of parents that are like “prepare a meal with me for my 19 month old!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕” and all the comments are like “OH MY FUCKING GOD JUST SAY THAT UR KID IS 1. STUPID CUNT I HOPE YOU JUMP OFF A BRIDGE” like. first of all. bitch. mind ur business. it’s not that hard to do the math in ur head. SECOND OF ALL. there is a MAJOR difference between a 1 yr old and a 19 month old. a 19 month old should be able to do things like kick a ball, recognize basic colors, say simple phrases, maybe even run!! a lot of 1 yr olds aren’t even walking yet!!! there is such a massive difference bro. my earliest memory is being 15 months old at an airport. i remember standing there with my cute little monkey backpack and i was pretending to be a dog and every single time i talk about it people are like “UMMMM….15 MONTHS?? JUST SAY 1 YEAR OLD!!! ALSO YOU’RE LYING BCUZ NOBODY REMEMBERS BEING 1 U COULD BARELY EVEN WALK🥰🥰🥰🥰” BITCH THATS WHY I DIDNT SAY 1 YEAR OLD AND INSTEAD I SAID 15 MONTHS OLD??? OBVIOUSLY I DONT REMEMBER BEING 1 YEAR OLD ARE U FUCKINF STUPID. i understand being confused by the numbers but it is not that hard to use ur brain and be like “ohhhh!!! 15-3=12!!!! that means that he was 1 year and 3 months old!!!” and i don’t expect people to know everything about how babies develop and stuff but for the love of god shut the fuck up. it’s basic math. plus parents don’t even say “yeah my kid is 146522984584929928448 months old”. most of the time they’ll say something like “ohhh yeah she turns two in march!!” or “she JUST turned two in march!!”. that still gives you an idea of what skills the baby has acquired but noooooo we need to throw a fit and act like some rando tiktok mom is forcing you to do some fucking einstein levels of mathematics to calculate their baby’s age. and if it seriously takes you that long to subtract these minuscule ass numbers then just google it. or is poor baby too lazy to do that too? is poor googoo gaga baby incapable of typing a few numbers into a calculator too? you people act like you have the math skills of the hypothetical baby we’re talking about right now. OPEN THE SCHOOLS. OPEN THE SCHOOLS I SAY.

[notesonartistry]

I love that Taylor knows when to end her tours and doesn’t drag them. She understands that her crew has families too and deserves time off. I’m looking at Ed 👀 whose tour started in 2022 and will end Sept 2025.

I think she's balanced it really well with The Eras Tour and that she felt that some of her tours went a bit long in the past, but it may have been influenced by other factors:

early albums toured while she was working on the next album and she had the mindset of discarding/moving on, so I think she was probably done by the end and then shifted straight into prepping the next release in the 2 year pattern

for 1989, she knew that she was overexposed and that she had personal things she wanted/needed to address. Even without all the furore over 'Famous', she was having a rough time and I think she was ready for a break

the rep tour was much more compact, but even so, I felt at the time that she was ready to move on from that era before it finished (similar to the early albums). She'd realised that once she had her feet under her, she wasn't keen on being an enigma and wanted to talk about her music, even when it made her very nervous to start doing press again

LoverFest was obviously designed to be even shorter, then didn't happen. It's now the road not taken and we'll never know if that limited run would have been it, or if she would have added shows later ... or even what would have happened to her popularity without the pandemic

Eras has been long, but well spaced and it's come at a time of significant change and growth for her as a person. I think a lot about her Time interview and her saying that she really trained for the tour. I think she's being slightly harsh on her younger self, but she's also been operating on a different level for this tour and it was really nice to see her enjoy the Vancouver shows and be proud of her achievement

I'd say that Ed's tour has also had quite a number of breaks and set changes over the time it's been running, so I guess his team have had breaks, but it's definitely a long one! He did a long run with his Divide tour, but not as long as this! I know it's technically still Mathematics, but it feels a bit like he's extending it rather than doing a new tour name partly as a way of boosting the gross/ticket sales/run length for historical records (maybe I'm being unfair to him tho as he is going to some different places even though some are repeats).
